The next day, Joy became a guide and took Eden and the others around town for half a day. After lunch at the Coleman's, they headed back to Audair.By the time they dropped Joy off at Riverside Senior High and returned to Skygarden, it was already around midnight.Quin and Talia's rooms were dark. Only Noah was sitting alone on the living room balcony, looking as if he was in a bad mood.Alain and Eden exchanged a glance. Eden didn't say anything but walked over to Noah's side. "You're upset?""Not really," Noah said, looking at her before sighing. "I need to go, Eden."Eden was slightly taken aback. "Where to?""To where I should be," Noah replied, gazing at the sky. "I've been running for decades. It’s probably time I fulfill my duties. There are responsibilities I can’t escape."Eden bit her lip but remained silent.Noah didn’t explain further, but she understood.Noah tapped his cigarette and stood up, then lightly tapped Eden’s shoulder."You won’t see me for a long time

Alain owned dozens of companies. Apart from the ones under the Ward Group, all were registered under his personal name, and he managed them himself.The company’s management and systems were well-optimized. However, when Alain was poisoned six months ago, he handed over the day-to-day operations to his staff.Fortunately, Alain’s staff were highly skilled. The technical team consisted of elite professionals who had never faced any attacks—until now. Not only had they been hacked through cyberspace, but they had also lost 100 million dollars. The worst part was that they only discovered it early this morning.Caelus could already imagine how furious Alain would be.As expected, Alain’s expression darkened. "Which company?""Digital Tech," Caelus replied firmly. "The hacker is very skilled. No one noticed the breach until the accounting team found discrepancies when balancing the books today. Our tech team also detected signs of a system attack."Digital Tech was Alain’s most profi

The pressure from both the schools and the government regarding the international competition was intense.Riverside Senior High, the top high school in Estburg, had been instructed to send 20 students from their intensive classes to participate. The competition wasn't just about personal pride but also about national prestige. The schools had to ensure they didn’t fall behind other countries.With three intensive classes and 20 students, they were confident that at least a few would make it to the finals. The goal was to place in the top 100, and the Department of Education wasn’t asking for much beyond that.As long as Kentra was among the top 100, they would be satisfied. Anything less would be considered a disgrace.To meet this challenge, all the teachers selected the top Physics students for a five-day intensive training session.Grant also organized his own training program. He initially planned to focus on Eden, given her perfect score in Physics. A student like her wouldn

Alain lowered his head and glanced at his phone, but he kept an eye on Talia from the corner of his eyes.He had met Talia twice before she moved into Skygarden.The first time was when she jumped into the river. The second was the night Sofia passed away.By the time Alain and Eden arrived that night, Alain had missed Talia’s fight, so he didn’t think much of it.To him, Talia had always seemed like a sweet and pleasant young woman.But now, he was seeing a different side of her.Her cold eyes and commanding presence weren’t something that had developed overnight.Alain could tell that if he hadn’t stepped in, Talia would have snapped Quin’s neck without hesitation.A tense silence settled between the three of them. Quin was shaken by Talia and, fearing Alain might actually throw her out, stayed quiet.Talia, too, remained silent, not wanting to risk her place in someone else’s home.When Eden finally came out, she sensed the strange atmosphere and glanced at them before ask

Eden was initially focused on reading her medical journal, but her attention shifted when she noticed Alain constantly making and receiving calls. One after another, the interruptions made her frown.When Alain saw her expression darken, he stepped out with his phone in hand.Eden glanced at him but didn’t think much of it.They were alike in that way—both had their own secrets, and they respected that. He had never asked about hers, and she wouldn’t ask about his either.After Hackers United intervened, they successfully defended the Ward Group against the hacker’s attack and tracked where the money had gone. It turned out the hacker had quickly donated the funds to children in the countryside.Alain found it hard to be angry after that.The Ward Group had its own charitable organization, often donating to support impoverished families in rural areas. While the company and the Ward Group had lost 7 billion dollars, knowing it had gone to those in need made the loss more tolerabl
